Radio 2 presenter Owain Wyn Evans has crossed the finish line after an epic five day cycle across the UK.
The former weather reporter travelled an incredible 400 miles on his bike, lovingly called Shania Chain.
He's raised nearly £4 million so far for thecharity Children in Need.
This isn't the first time the presenter has raised money for the appeal - in 2021 he did a televised Drumathon challenge, raising £3m after drumming for 24 hours!
Owain's journey from start to finish
Owain launched his Four Nations Cycle Race on Radio 2 with Pudsey Bear
Day 1 - Monday - Scotland
Starting in Glasgow, Owain cycled across Scotland to Cairnryan, where he caught a ferry.
Day 2 - Tuesday - Northern Ireland
The ferry took him through Northern Ireland. There he heard a special version of the song 5, 6, 7, 8 from his favourite band, Steps - 5, 6, 7, Donate! It was here he also fell off his bike when cycling up a hill.
Day 3 - Wednesday - England
After catching another ferry Owain started his third day, in Birkenhead, England. Here he opened a letter from his favourite primary school teacher, Mrs Adams. He said Mrs Adamswas his first ally. He was also joined bycycling legend Dame Sarah Storey.
Day 4 - Thursday - Wales
Owain was challenged by the cold weather, and a very tough uphill climb called The Tumble, but he managed to stay on his bike the whole way.
Day 5 - Friday - Wales
He did it! Owain crosses the 400 mile finish line in Cardiff, with cheers and messages of congratulations from his supporters, including the Princess of Wales!
Owain raised £3 million for Children in Need after drumming for 24 hours!
"It's overwhelming, all the love and passion and commitment people have shown," Owain said as he ended his journey in Cardiff.
But his work is not over - he's joining Children in Need tonight live on BBC One and iPlayer to share more about his amazing journey.
BBC Children in Need works to support charities and organisations all around the UK that aim to improve the lives of children.
It first launched in 1980, and by 2018 it had raised an incredible £1 billion for charity.
